Create a Rider Theme: do I need IntelliJ ? Follow
Hello,
I recently acquired a Dasung Paperlike 253 display, that is, a 25.3" E-Ink screen. I wish to create a theme for Rider for this, something like this. Browsing the docs, it seems I need IntelliJ to do this. Is this correct? This also means there is no documentation just for Rider themes, and how to make and test and deploy them? Can I not develop a small Rider theme plugin from within Rider?
Would be great to have a theme for E-Ink!

Hello Menno,
There are several articles and tutorials on how to develop IntelliJ plugins:
Rider sample plugin
An article about Rider Frontend plugin development

Here is a link to the plugins collection.

PS: to make a schema to be compatible with Rider you need to add
<depends>com.intellij.modules.platform</depends>
into plugin.xml/idea-plugin. Moreover, we have a slack channel #rider-pluginwriters where our plugin writers can ask Rider/R#/IJ developers. Just let me know if you want to be added there.
